So, it's just teen soap opera? No humor, no horror, no suspense?
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I like the evil brother.

dcp, no humor that I could find but some horror and a tiny bit of suspense.

Vampire Diaries: oh lord, this is schlocky. And heavy-handed. And the fog! The fog is awesome, and I think it gives the best performance in the show. Also, the background music is kind of foreground music, and is really annoying.
But, the show is amusing enough that I'll tune in next week. Plus, I can play the Hey, that's not how it happened in the book! game. Which makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.

Yet with all of that, the s how does manage to be more suspenseful than the book, so yay. Plus, I'm going to root for the bad vampire, out of a sense of tradition.

“Not dead yet!”
Is the bad vampire the one played by Ian Somerhalder? (I didn't watch, but have vague curiosity since I think Somerhalder is verra pretty.)

Why WHY is Fringe going up against Supernatural?

Art Crawl!!!
Yes, the bad brother is played by Ian Somerhalder.
I enjoyed Vampire Diaries.
My friend S. has managed to sabatage the Somerhalder thing for me by noting his resemblence to Rob Lowe. . . as in EVERYTIME the name comes up she talks about how much he looks like Rob Lowe and how that prevents her from EVER enjoying him. (And I watched him on Lost and never noticed that resemblence but now I cannot forget it. On the other hand, I can watch Rob Lowe and not think about his past real-life crap.)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I'm just wondering when I'm going to stop being pissed they killed Ianto. That overshadows the angst of the rest of the ending for me.
You know...it wasn't the fact that Ianto died that perturbed me. I mean, I'm used to Joss and Minear...folk who unhesitatingly kill beloved characters.
But, see, Joss and Minear do it in service to the story. And they make it work, usually. I'm pissed Ianto died because Jack's plan was fucking stupid and Jack isn't wracked with guilt for the right reasons. He's all "I hurt the ones I love in service to a higher cause and I just don't know if I'm strong enough to keep doing it" where in Ianto's case he should be (in my opinion) "I killed the man I love because I was a giant fucking moron with the stupidest plan imaginable."
I mean, REALLY? "Give up or I will lead the human race in a battle against you!"
The only appropriate response the 456 could have given was: "And you are...?"
